Project Update, Posted Sept. 20

In August the contractor implemented a new temporary traffic pattern that allows the contractor to work along the south side of the corridor between Louisburg Road and Single Leaf Lane and the north side of the corridor between Single Leaf Lane and the Wake Cross Baptist Church. The installation of a new large box culvert that will run across the intersection is scheduled for later this fall.
